i rarely get in a grand battle, and my team has to win or i wont get any bonds from that battle, at this rate i wont be able to earn enough bonds to purchase a reward tank, please tell me wg arent going through with this.

it isn't really, considering the rules will make it so a lot if not most people in the top 11k won't get 4000 bonds, and a lot of people don't have a lot of bonds saved because ranked was so bad they didn't bother with it

This is, of course, a ploy by WG to encourage people to play t10 more (to burn credits and thus require a premium account) and play ranked (which is a dead game mode otherwise due to poor rewards, high credit burn and overall for many un-fun gameplay due to skill based MM).

I personally grew to like ranked so played a bit more in the second season and I thus have the 4k bonds. I was surprised at the low amount of bonds needed to get a tank, but placing in the top 11k is another topic.

I never went passed rank 2 on the ranking mode, don't play tier 10 much and have 2935 bonds at the moment.

I bet the statistics and player feedback (hah like they would even bother with that) was showing that players generally were not very interested about bonds, with the not so great success of ranked battles etc.. So this is the fix the DEV team then came up with

At the moment 21886 players in the event, so 50% qualify for the reward tank if they have the bonds, maybe WG knew the event would be a washout and didn't want too many scrubs from getting the tank and so introduced bonds buying requirement....

I have a feeling that exactly the way people earn the right to buy the tank with bonds they probably won't have is what made people not enter the campaign. That and the lack of a new tank.
